When Australian Sam Stosur steps on Arthur Ashe Stadium tonight to face Kim Clijsters for a spot in the
women's singles semifinals, she will be trying to add to the "Le Crocodile" Legend.

History has it that the signature crocodile logo that adorns the famous Lacoste clothing line started when the press nicknamed French tennis player Rene' LaCoste "the Alligator" after a bet he made over a suitcase that was made from alligator skin. The nickname stuck since it conveyed the tenacity he displayed on the tennis court, never letting go his prey. In NY, Stosur has shown some of that same tenacity.

At the Open, she is wearing the sporty LaCoste Contrast Tipped Dress. It features a V-neck zip placket neck with contrasting trim on neckline as well as on arm holes. The drop waist with box pleats and contrasting trimmed pockets complete the look. And of course, the embroidered Croc logo is on the left chest.

Stosur will complement her LaCoste outfit with her ever present Oakley shades — she prefers the Enduring model which are super lightweight frames designed exclusively for women to provide an optimized fit. They have interchangeable lens designs that let athletes adapt instantly to the environment; and the lens contours extend peripheral vision with unrivaled clarity while helping protect the wearer’s eyes from harmful UV.

With her eyes on her prey, you can bet Stosur will be counting on two things to help her — her big power game and the "Le Crocodile" Legend.

The new Nike Women's Spring Group is all about COLOR — pinks, greens, yellow and blue.

Nike Sphere Cool React panel on the back offers ventilation, while a slight stretch offers comfort. The top is finished with contrast tank straps and trim along the hem.

The body contouring Summer Athlete Tank offers mesh-lined tank straps with a built-in support bra. The mesh back is designed to keep you comfortable on the court. The top also features contrast trim around neckline and contrast stripe on
back. And of course, the famous Nike tennis court logo on front left
hem and an embroidered Swoosh on left chest.

The 13" Skort is designed for maximum mobility and comfort, yet unrivaled performance and style. The dramatic pleats look great in motion. The skort also features an elastic waistband with contrast trim and built-in compression shorts. The tonal tennis court logo on right hip and a tonal embroidered Swoosh on front left hem add the Nike signature.

Put a spring in your step with this season's bold spring colors in the Adidas Competition line — the Neon
Yellow will dazzle any crowd.

The Men's Competition Crew will definitely add a little extra sizzle and intensity to anybody's game. This performance-minded design has a mesh back panel that offers optimum ventilation — the ClimaCool technology keeps you cool and comfortable in even the warmest conditions by actively expelling heat and sweat away from your body. ForMotion follows every curve of the athlete's body for a better fit and greater comfort while in motion. The shirt features a crew neck with contrasting trim on upper back and breathable mesh panels under arms and back of sleeves. The Adidas 3-Stripes are on the sleeves and a screen printed adidas logo is on the center chest.

Women will play hard for the win in the Competition Tank. This lightweight top features a V-neck, contrast binding around neckline and armholes, mesh around the neckline and upper back with contrasting stripes on the sides, and a printed adidas logo on left chest. Like the Men's Competition Crew, the Competition Tank features the Climacool and ForMotion technology.

Breakout of the winter doldrums and brighten your game in an Adidas Competition top.

Looking for that little extra advantage the next time you play an opponent that is known for their "questionable" line calls? Here's your answer: a spunky new tee with the "Are You Sure?" logo in big, bold colors on the front chest. Now, every time your opponent looks across the net, they will be reminded that questionable line calls are NOT part of your game.

This new apparel line is the brainchild of Christelle Williams. Like many tennis moms, Williams has spent countless hours chaperoning her daughters to junior tournaments. One day it struck her that “are you sure?” was echoed around the courts during matches. She realized that it was one of the most commonly used phrases in tennis as a semi-polite way of responding to a questionable line call. Looking to put a humorous angle on the situation, Williams launched the sportswear line last Fall.

The tees are made of durable, high-quality, pre-shrunk 100% cotton and are available for men, women and children in a variety of styles and colors. Custom orders and logos are for teams or clubs.

For fashion-minded tennis lovers who want to make a statement, these colorful tees do the job.

When you have a game as big as 2009 Australian Open semifinalist Fernando Verdasco, you've got to have the apparel to match like the Adidas Men's Winter Edge Shorts and Print Crew — apparel ready to stand up to heated competition.

The ventilated ClimaCool technology keeps you cool and comfortable in even the warmest conditions by actively expelling heat and sweat away from your body.

In addition to the ClimaCool technology that guarantees to keep you cool and comfortable, even in the warmest conditions, the Adidas Men's Winter Edge shorts feature an elastic waistband with internal drawcord and back notch, side pockets with terry to wick sweat, mesh on hips and inner legs and two back pockets with Velcro.

As with the shorts, the Adidas Men's Winter Edge Print Crew features the ClimaCool technology plus mesh on the back — a combo guaranteed to keep you cool and dry. The front features a fun geometric graphic. The applied 3-Stripes on sleeves with contrasting cuffs make for an overall clean design.

A new dress color a day, keeps your opponents at bay. Or, so it seems with Serena Williams tennis dress at the 2009 Australian Open — so far during the fortnight, it seems that each match she has played, she
has shown up in the same dress but in a different color.

The Serena inspired design combines performance with polished elegance. The Nike Serena Day Dress, features a V-neck, contrast binding around neckline and armholes, Sphere Cool React back, contrast trim around waistline, bubble skirt with pleats, tennis court logo on right hip, and an embroidered Swoosh on left chest. The dress is offered in enough colors that you could sport a different one every day of the week. The color variations include Light Photo Blue with Liquid Lime, Charcoal Grey with White, White with Light Photo Blue, and Vivid Pink with Dark Obsidian Navy. Last but not least is Serena's personal blue pattern design inspired by her favored prints by Pucci. Leave it to Serena to come up with something different.
